“…Fad diets are diets that often peak in popularity, for example, the Dukan Diet, Atkins Diet, Zone Diet and Skinny Teas and are then replaced by the newer trends such as Keto, Paleo and Intermittent Fasting (10,12) . Though diet names change, the general nutrition messages appear similar, recommending the restriction of a particular food group or macronutrient and unrealistic WL expectations (10,12,13) . The nutrition messages promote an eating pattern that is inconsistent with the Australian Government guidelines, the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating (AGHE) and Australian Dietary Guidelines (2) .…”

A comparison of dietary quality and nutritional adequacy of popular energy-restricted diets against the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating and the Mediterranean Diet

There is limited information regarding the nutrition profile and diet quality of meal plans from currently popular weight loss diets in Australia. This includes the energy content (kilojoules), the macronutrient distribution, and the micronutrient composition. Further, these diets have not been compared with current government guidelines and healthy eating principles for nutritional adequacy. Popular diets were identified through grey literature, trending searches and relative popularity in Australia. Meal plans for each diet were analysed using Foodworks Dietary Software to determine food group intake, micronutrient, and macronutrient distribution. Results indicated that all popular diets assessed deviated from government recommended healthy eating principles such as the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating and the Mediterranean Diet. In most cases both popular diets, and the healthy eating principles had low intakes of multiple food groups, low intakes of essential micronutrients, and a distorted macronutrient distribution. Popular diets may not provide adequate nutrition to meet needs, particularly in the long-term and potentially resulting in micronutrient deficiency. When energy restricting for weight loss, meal plans should be highly individualized in conjunction with a qualified nutrition professional to ensure adequate dietary intake.

“…No grupo educativo investigado realizou-se essa identificação no diagnóstico e sua inclusão, sobretudo no último encontro. Considera-se que a reflexão e a problematização da relação entre o corpo e a alimentação e saúde dos participantes, trabalhado especialmente no tema 'autoestima' possa favorecer a reconstrução dessa percepção e relação, já que pensamentos negativos focados no corpo podem levar a uma baixa autoestima e preocupações sobre a sua forma, favorecendo a busca por restrições alimentares 30 .…”

A compreensão da percepção das escolhas alimentares e do corpo é fundamental para a condução de ações de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional em grupo. Esse trabalho teve por objetivo identificar a autopercepção das escolhas alimentares e da imagem corporal de participantes de um grupo educativo antes e depois da intervenção. Foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva qualitativa com caracterização da população e com entrevista semiestruturada, antes e depois de um grupo educativo de seis encontros quinzenais. Os dados produzidos nas entrevistas foram analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo Temática. Dos 27 participantes que iniciaram o grupo 11 finalizaram, sendo eles na maioria idosos, viúvos, aposentados e com a presença de doenças crônicas. Nas entrevistas dos 11, foram identificadas as categorias cognitivo, afetiva, sensorial e habilidade referentes à autopercepção da alimentação e a categoria saúde e corpo referente à autopercepção corporal. Ambas as categorias foram encontradas nas entrevistas pré e pós-intervenção, porém com sentidos e significados diferentes, os quais evidenciaram mudanças na percepção e nas escolhas alimentares dos participantes. A abordagem dessas categorias nas intervenções de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional pode influenciar na realização de melhorias do comportamento alimentar. Conclui-se a relevância da inclusão da autopercepção alimentar e corporal para planejar e desenvolver as intervenções coletivas para o fortalecimento da autonomia nas escolhas alimentares dos indivíduos.

“…A successful diet change can strengthen this self-esteem and may also result in more mindfulness and self-care. But gender-specific differences can be observed in the context of diet changes, whereby self-esteem scores are lower in women compared to men ( 108 ).…”

Placebo (PE) and nocebo effects (NE) have been subjects of systematic research in medicine and psychotherapy for many decades to distinguish between the (specific) pharmacological effect of medication and the (unspecific) effect of the context. Despite this significant research, the awareness, operationalisation, and reflection of the multiplicity of PE, NE, and psychosocial context effects (PSCE) is currently limited when researching outcomes of diet changes in studies without randomisation and placebo control. This neglection is critical as it could systematically influence outcomes by moderating and mediating them and thus reducing the validity and evidence base of these studies. Therefore, we performed a (non-systematic) narrative review (NR) on the following objectives: (1) present a concise overview about the relevance of PE, NE, and PSCE in medicine and nutrition research; (2) review the current state of research on reflecting context effects when studying diet changes; (3) provide useful theoretical foundations via consideration and integration of micro- and macro context effects; (4) operationalise as hypotheses the potential PE, NE, and PSCE which are specific for researching diet changes; and (5) derive their impact for future research as well as for nutrition counselling. The electronic search in this NR for objective (2) identified N = 5 publications and for objective (4) we found N = 61 articles retrieved in the first round of search, additional references were identified by a manual and snowball search among the cited references resulting finally in N = 37. This NR offers a synoptical basis to foster awareness and operationalisation of a variety of PE, NE, and PSCE. Interdisciplinary research teams should monitor these factors using, e.g., qualitative, mixed-method studies, process evaluation, item bank approaches, moderator and mediator analysis that might reveal substantially new insights, and outcomes of relevance to science and nutrition counselling. Nevertheless, the present NR has several limitations, especially as it is non-systematic, because it is a very heterogeneous field of research, in which the topic we are investigating is usually regarded as marginal and subordinate. Therefore, future research should conduct systematic reviews and particularly theory-based primary studies (experimental research) on hypotheses of PE, NE, and PSCE in outcome research in diet changes.
